Why is the suction power reduced in my Kärcher Vacuum Cleaner?
- R
  Robert RobinsonJul 28, 2025
  If your Kärcher Vacuum Cleaner has reduced suction power, the paper filter bag, flat-folding filter nozzle, suction hose, or suction tube might be blocked. Also, the level indicator might be red, the paper filter bag or dirt box might be full, or the flat-folding filter might be missing or incorrectly fitted. Inspect and clean any blocked parts. Renew the paper filter bag or empty the dirt box. Ensure the flat-folding filter is correctly inserted.

  If dust is expelled during vacuuming with your Kärcher Vacuum Cleaner, it might be that the suction hose is not properly attached or the flat-folding filter is missing, incorrectly fitted, or defective. Attach the suction hose correctly. Make sure the flat-folding filter is correctly inserted or renew it if necessary.

What to do if the spray pump works but no water is discharged from my Kärcher Vacuum Cleaner?

  Kimberly WarrenAug 9, 2025
  If the spray pump of your Kärcher Vacuum Cleaner is working but no water is discharged, the detergent reservoir might be empty, the suction filter might be blocked, the detergent reservoir might not be correctly positioned, or there might be a blockage inside the cleaner or accessories. Top up the detergent reservoir. Clean the suction filter. Fit the detergent reservoir correctly. Detach the coupling for the spraying hose and check if the pump is delivering water to the outlet. If it is, check the accessories. If not, arrange for customer service to check.
